Currently (v5.5+), there is no way to use an embedded collector when using a PROD key. However for very small environments (2 JVMs + UEM), this is impractical to manage a separate process and wasteful of resources to run two jvms on the same machine.
Is there any plans or ability to override this restriction and allow an embedded Collector for small environments in Production?

Hi Joe
We made that change for a good reason because we had a lot of customers that started small and then expanded. When they expanded they forgot to rethink their dynaTrace Deployment which caused problems and support cases. It was a strategic decision to therefore set these defaults for PROD Licenses. I understand that there are "rare" cases where this might seem like a limitation - but please also understand the reasining behind that decision. We want our users to be successful with dynaTrace when they scale-up their dT environment.
